Please do not leave this forum.
Please continue to share both
your photographs and your reports on the situation
as you see it.
These images and reports of actual work and experiences
have enormous value to me (and I'd imagine many others).
Please do not allow others, who choose to share opinions from a  
distance,
to deter you from your factual reporting.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
